using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
    
IEnumerable<string> GivePermutations(string input)
{
    if (input.Length == 0)
    {
        yield return string.Empty;
        yield break;
    }

    foreach (var permutation in GivePermutations(input[1..])
    {
        yield return char.ToUpper(input[0]) + permutation;
        yield return char.ToLower(input[0]) + permutation;
    }
}

foreach (var permutation in GivePermutations("cat"))
{
    Console.WriteLine(permutation);
}

this was fun 🙂

you can see the longer the string the bigger it gets

veudOP•3y ago

thanks, I don't want to force someone to code it again, but I wonder how much better it really is than with lists

also you can remove the index, it isn't used anywhere anymore

veudOP•3y ago

Thank you

Tvde1•3y ago

though you probably are doing something wrong if you need all permutations
